PLATTEVILLE, Wis. — A major restaurant chain, coffee chain and cell phone company are set to open in Platteville as soon as later this year.
Crews will break ground soon on two buildings: one will house an Arby’s and the other a Starbucks and U.S. Cellular store.
Both buildings will be near each other in currently empty lots near Menards and Walmart.
Arby’s will be located at 1711 Progressive Parkway next to Sherwin-Williams Paint Store. The Starbucks and U.S. Cellular locations will be housed at 1601 Progressive Parkway next to Pioneer Property Management Inc.
City Manager Adam Ruechel said city officials are currently reviewing the plans for both businesses, and the projects should break ground within the next month.
“I think we’re always excited for new businesses,” Ruechel said. “New development and new options for residents are always an encouraging thing. It’s new growth for the city.”
Joe Carroll, community development manager for the City of Platteville, said all of the permits for the Arby’s project have been awarded.
The property is owned by Strifex LLC, he said, and the project developer is DRM Inc. Both entities are based in Omaha, Neb. DRM officials could not be reached for comment.
The future Arby’s building will be 2,500 square feet and feature both indoor dining and a drive-thru.
While there is not an official completion date for the building’s construction, Carroll said he would guess the project would be done by this fall.
Further permits for the future Starbucks and U.S. Cellular building have yet to be issued, he said.
